If Elton Brown wasn't kicked out the previous week for the blow to the back of the head (which could definitely have caused more harm), then in all fairness, you can't turn around and kick out a player the next week for physical play.

In the off-season, the league needs to address the propensity for unnecessary physical play and sit down all of the referees that they plan to use for ACC games next year and review the expectations that the ACC has of them. Any referee who violates that training in the opening weeks should be eliminated from further use in conference games.

And techfan, you should be thankful that State was so ineffective from the line & Wake won, otherwise Tech would not have drawn that Thursday bye...
